Wow, Where Did I Go?!?

Hey,

Sorry that I dropped off the face of the earth for a bit but our internet at the house is pitiful, so as to be almost non-existant. I am working at St. Norbert Immersion School so I will be working in French with some English. I have a super awesome schedule for each day, though it is fairly busy. I will probably be on the internet at random times if I am not in a class and get time off instead.

We went cross-country skiing yesterday which was totally awesome, and have been much more laid back and relaxed since getting here. Chaque jour mon francais améliore et je peux comprendre plusieur mots.

I will be able to check my email now so that remains a viable form of communication though MSN won't be possible for a while. Phone calls are awesome, just remember that I am now an hour ahead of Ontario time, so any time after 4:00 pm Ontario time works for me.

We have french classes now in the house, on Tuesdays and Fridays, between 7 and 9 pm, so calling during those periods will get you an answering machine.

So, I think I should probably give out the phone number if I want anyone to call, so the participant's line is 1(204) 282-7186. Please don't call my cell unless you are in Winnipeg. The address is 193 Le Maire, St. Norbert, MB, R3V 1M2.

Well that's all for now, I'll post pictures once I can get the internet at the house to work reliably.
That's all for now.

Main Man, sortie.

Manitoba!!

Well, I'm now in St. Norbert, Manitoba, which is a suburb of Winnipeg. Our house is even smaller and things were not nice the first day when the group had gone close to 40 hours without sleep. After getting workplace tours, doing job "interviews", and figuring out how we wanted to make the house better, things are now looking up. We have already met the group from Stonewall and will most likely meet the Winnipeg group tomorrow. We have had some internet difficulties so, if I don't respond to emails for a bit that's why. The phone number here is 1(204)282-7186, so give me a ring, just keep in mind that we're an hour ahead of Ontario. That's all for now.

Main Man, Out.

Hey, Just Checking In

Hey Everybody, just got back from our excursion to Moncton and thought that it might be a good idea to make sure I let everybody know that I am not at billeting anymore, so calling there will not reach me. I am only at the house for another week so I will post new contact info when I know what it is. Pictures will be updated soon.

Hey, I'm still alive!

Sorry that it has been so long since the last post, but it has been an extremely busy few weeks leading to rotation. More paperwork now than at any other time, and tons of things to do to get ready. So I will see what I can get on when I have time but I do expect to post more.

The last set of pictures was of our trip to Saint John, and the 2 other groups staying in the Katimavik house that night. I have dyed my hair blue and so there will be pictures posted soon.

Keep in mind that anyone not on the email newsletter list should email me at mr.eddie.main@gmail.com with the subject "Newsletter" so that you will get it. The next part of volume one will hopefully be out tonight.

That's all for now.

Main Man, Out
